Hi,

"What make you thing I am a bot?" -- Eliza 
<http://nlp-addiction.com/eliza/> :-)

I thing the point is not why my account was blocked, but why someone 
have the right to block an account and whatfor ?

"The road is the place between the buildings..."   so I need the 
buildings : Cadastre data are usefull (fully).

All points of the guideline are wrong : no vandalism, no old work 
destroy, no copyright enf. : no need to revert the Cadastre data anyday, 
anytime.
I accept, and respect all conditions with both my accounts : so what the 
difference using the first or the second ?

In fact DWG people just don't like imports and are jalous of the 
"opendata" wind in France. Your anoying !

Regards,
